I had visits from the LEA for the first 10 years we home educated, and tbh they were a boring waste of time. The LEA can only see education in school terms. They simply cannot see that a child can be learning and not producing school type work, and yet how many of us in the real world choose to write an essay on our visit to the farm, or make a graph of the different coloured cars that go past our houses, so why should children feel any differently? The visit to the farm is enough in itself. The cars can be noticed without having to do a cake graph, bar graph etc. If the child gets enough interest in a project to do these things for their own interest fair enough, but if not then why should they? So the LEA just cannot understand this. They could not understand how my son could have dreadfully immature handwriting at 11, how he could not know how to set a sum out on a page. They did not realise that he had had poetry published that he had written on the word processor, or that he was working out complex maths problems in his head from age 4.
After he got his first college credits at age 12, and his first gcse age 13, they decided that we knew what we were doing and for the last few years they have left us alone, and have never met my daughter - a state much to be preferred as it was a pain having to try to make our learning method fit into their view of how the world should be. The trouble with having them visit is that they feel they know more about our children than we do, and they feel they have more idea what a child should be doing than the child does. They know nothing of autonomous education or the great outcomes being recorded by home educators who have dared to let their children lead the way with their learning. My son still has immature handwriting, but if he ever wanted to change that, he knows he could get a book on caligraphy and work hard on it for a week or two. Half way through his first year of his PHD, he still hasn't found it enough of a problem to bother to correct it. If the LEA had had their way and got him sitting at a desk every day doing handwriting when he was younger, instead of being able to pursue his own vital interests, he may have a clearer handwriting style, but I doubt his self motivation, sense of exploration, delight in experimentation and inner drive would have survived it.
This is why I would never disclose myself to the LEA, they do not understand home education and they think they have rights to monitor, assess and prescribe the education that they just do not have in law.
